When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进,敦促) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详).Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.41. Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.A. day by day; and B .gradually; asC. gradually; thatD. century after century; as42. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C. It is because we are forced to do them again and again.D. It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smoot h them away43. The bad habits formed by __________A. children sometimes stay in all their livesB. older people sometimes can kill themC. persons sometimes can remain with themD. younger people sometimes can break themBFor many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using the language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces and bodies. Their movements stood for things and ideas. A man might move his forefinger across his lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” He might tap his chin with three fingers. This meant, “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.44. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_______.A.the deaf must have special teachersB.there is still no way to communicate with the deafC.deaf people make signs to make a livingD.deaf people are not as clever as normal people45. On the whole the story is about______.A. how the deaf communicateB. leaning to spellC. teaching the deaf to speakD. writing sign language46. How did sign language help the deaf?A.It helped them to learn to read.B.It helped them communicate with other people.C.The deaf could understand Indian sign language.D.The deaf could move their thumbs across their lips47. Which of these sentences do you think is right?A.Deaf people draw signs.B.Deaf people read with their fingers.C.Many deaf people now can speak.D.Deaf people teach themselves a sign language.CIn Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits(限制)the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to go from one place to another. The price of the land, too, has skyrocketed. All these explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion(结论)that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen shopping centres.What are some of the advantages(优势)of shopping and eating underground? Clean air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat(威胁)of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience(便利)of getting around: you are usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kibosh station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.48.

The passage mainly tells us______.A. the capital of JapanB. the land and its limitsC. the use of space underground in TokyoD. how to make full use of the landDHave you ever wanted to travel back through time and see what life was like at the dawn(起始)of man? Well, museums can make history come alive. And one museum in particular can take you on an exciting journey from the beginning of human culture to the present day.It is the British Museum. Being one of the largest museums in the world, it is home to over 7 million objects from all the world’s continents. While most of us may not have the opportunity to visit London, we can catch aglimpse of the treasures it holds in Beijing. More than 100 cultural relics will be on display in the Palace Museum. Named “Britain and the World”, a range of pencil sketches (素描), watercolor paintings, sculptures and many other objects have traveled to China.There will be several Chinese object s on show. But “they were obtained by the British Museum before 1830 mainly by trade,” said Ma Jige, deputy director of the Exhibition Department of the Palace Museum.In fact, there are more than 23,000 Chinese relics in the British Museum, including national treasures like gems (宝石), artwork and ancient bronze ware objects.The museum is famed for its exquisite Chinese paintings. Picture of Lady Officials (《女史箴图》) by Gu Kaizhi, a top painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-4 is there. The British Museum also holds 13,700 Buddhist records from the Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province.53.

He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was , for at that time there were no units(单位)for measuring(测量)power .Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.41. The passage says that Watt made the first __________.A. engineB. steam engineC. widely used steam engineD. useful engine42. Watt wanted to find a way to __________.A. measure the work his engine could doB. tell people how powerful his engine wasC. lift a 3300-pound weightD. both A and B43.

The best title for this selection is __________.A. Watt’s EngineB. The Origin(起因)of the Term(术语)HorsepowerC. Units of MeasurementD. It Happened Years AgoBBolivia has a population of three and a half million. About one tenth of the total population are white; one-fourth are mixed Indians and white; and more than half are full-blooded(纯血种的)Indians. The government and the industries are under the control of the white people.The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines(矿), for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s. Of all the mining products, tin(锡)is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports. The eastern sl opes of the Andes(安第斯山脉), since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters(脚夫). East of the hill region is the great plains where tropical plants are grown. A serious problem for Bolivia is the transport of food from the warm regions, where it is grown, to the mountainous regions, where most of the people live.Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago. It has been slow in developing, but its rich resources promise a better future in it.46. The majority of the Bolivian population are __________.A. full-blooded IndiansB. mixed Indian and whiteC. white citizensD. all whites and mixed-blooded people47.

Bolivia has been slow in developing , but it has hope for a better future because of its ____.A. mining productsB. rich resourcesC. independence from SpainD. two primary means of transportationCThe Golden Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the suburbs(郊区)to the north. Each day, about one hundred thousand cars across the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. (经常往来市区的人). These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it . They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again .The ferry(渡船)they take is the large , quiet , comfortable “Golden Gate” . Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning, they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the boat while they are looking at San Francisco’s famous scene and the nearby hills.The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel friendlier towards each other. Two commuters who met on the “Golden Bridge” have already got married. Because the boat has been so successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. “A lo t of people don’t want to get the trip faster,” said one commuter. “They feel that half an hour is just enough time to rest. ”51. Over __________ cross the Golden Gate Bridge during rush hours every day .A. 100,000 peopleB. 50,000 peopleC. 100,000 carsD. 50,000 cars52.

Many people don’t like the new idea for a high-speed boat because __________.A. they don’t want to go to work earlierB. they like to stay on the boatC. they want enough time to have a restD. there will be more people on the boat55. A group of commuters are happy ___________ .A. because they are the people who travel under the bridge.B. because they are the people who travel on the bridge.C. because they go to work by boat and enjoy it very much.D. because they will never go to work by car again五.补全对话(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)W: Good morning, 56M: Good morning, I’d like to check out.W: All right, 57M: Room 2301W: You are Mr. Baker, Martin Baker, right?M: 58W: This is your bill, Mr. Baker.

天水市一中高二级2019—2020学年度第一学期期末考试英语试题(满分:100分时间:100分钟)第I卷(选择题共55分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,共35分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)AFamily fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least tha t’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time.

My husband Jimmy and I were watching TV upstairs.No sooner had we got the coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get through to get to the relative safety of the first floor.As we struggled to reach the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.By the time I reached the closet, Jimmy pushed me down to th e closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.4.Which of the following sentences is NOT the evidence to show the tornado is violent?A.It was the loudest thing I have ever heard.B.The bones of the house shook, and the power went out.C.Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.D.Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.5.From the passage, we can infer that______.A.The couple had predicted the arrival of the tornado in advance.B.Jimmy flew right out the back of the house and into the bay during the tornado.C.The three-foot-tree flew over the couple’s head and injured them badly.D.The author still felt scared when the tornado was suddenly over.6.Why did the author feel “no pain” in paragraph4?A.She didn’t hurt badly enough to sense the pain.B.She was severely injured and failed to sense the pain.C.Her attention was fully focused on her husband.D.She had let her husband go away from her hand.7.Which of the following phrases best describes the couple’s experience in this tornado?A.A thrilling adventure B.A narrow escape C.A risky attempt D.A serious accidentCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.8.What does this passage mainly talk about?A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.B.Opinions about competition are different among people.C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.9.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who are against competition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success10.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.B.One's success in competition needs great efforts.C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.11.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.B.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D.Competition should be encouraged.DArtificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UK’s Medical Research Council, said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were published in the Journal of Radiology.According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.The software was given scans of 256 patients’ hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die.The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, “This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.”12.What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?A.Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.B.Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.C.Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills.D.Producing medicine without side effects for heart disease patients.13.What can we know about the software from the passage?A.It can make accurate long-term predictions.B.It has not yet been widely put into use.C.It can prevent high blood pressure in the lungs damaging part of the heart.D.It can help doctors make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment.14.The underlined word “deteriorates” in the last paragraph probably means “________.”A.continues B.worsens C.exists D.improves15.The author’s purpose of writi ng the text is most likely to _________.A.advertise B.persuade C.inform D.entertain第二节七选五(共5小题; 每小题1分,共5分)Questions to ask yourself before making a big decisionLife is packed with decisions, big and small. If you feel a big decision is appearing in your life, don’t hide! Ask yourself these questions to get clear on what’s the right choice for you.How committed am I to this change?Rate your level of commitment on a scale out of 10. 16 . Is your level of commitment higher than a 7? That’s grea t data for your decision!Is this decision in line with my long-term goal?17 Write down your goals. Then think about how this decision plays into that longer-term plan.18This is one of my favorite questions! If something is stirring(搅动) within you --- a creative idea, a calling to move somewhere new, a desire to end a relationship --- what are you giving up when you don’t do it? What might you be missing out on in your life if you do nothing?Is now the right time?Bear in mind: 19 But there are few real reasons we ever need to delay making a big one when it presents itself. Remember, life is always uncertain and time waits for no one.Making a big decision doesn’t have to be so difficult. There are no right or wrong answers, or right or wrong ways to live your life. 20 Your inner wisdom has the answers. So get busy asking the person who knows best --- you.A.What is the risk of not doing it?B.How long have I been thinking about his?C.Not all decisions need to be made immediately.D.Think about the amount of work, effort and time you’d have to put in.E.

天水市一中高二级2019—2020学年度第一学期期末考试英语试题(满分:100分时间:100分钟)第I卷(选择题共55分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,共35分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)AFamily fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least tha t’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.1.From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A.people had better avoid family fights.B.family members fight to control each otherC.family fights can be changed into something positiveD.when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weaknes s2.In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A.satisfy the need to be listened to firstB.make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC.pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD.stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders3.When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.A.wait for a suitable moment to speak B.let the other person express their feelings C.work on a written agreement first D.move on to problem solvingBOn the day the tornado hit, there was no sign severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out.

Researchers at the Intern ati onal Age ncy for Research on Cancer(IARC) found evidenee that drinks at temperatures above 65 °C , when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus (食道).The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70 C or above. Those studieswere completed in Iran, China and South America.In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer tosmok ing and alcoholic (酒精)drin ks. However, this form of cancer is more com monin areas where people drink beverages (饮料;酒水)at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 C .And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea-dri nkers in Iran and mate-dri nkers in South America ofte nenjoy their beverages at closer to 70 C .The researchers find that South America ns not only drink their mate very hot,they also drink it through a metal straw (吸管).This sends the scalding liquiddirectlyinto theThe findin gs, however, are good news for coffee drinkers.In 1991, the WorldHealth Orga ni zati on listed coffee as possibly carci nogenic (致癌的).” The WHOofficials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drinkitself.The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable causeof esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather tha n the drinksthemselves, that appears to be resp on sible.7.

When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进,敦促) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habitis formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详).Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.41. Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.A. day by day; and B .gradually; asC. gradually; thatD. century after century; as42. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C. It is because we are forced to do them again and again.D. It is b ecause it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away43. The bad habits formed by __________A. children sometimes stay in all their livesB. older people sometimes can kill themC. persons sometimes can remain with themD. younger people sometimes can break themBFor many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using the language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces and bodies. Their movements stood for things and ideas. A man might movehis forefinger across his lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” He might tap his chin with three fingers. This meant, “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.44. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_______.A.the deaf must have special teachersB.there is still no way to communicate with the deafC.deaf people make signs to make a livingD.deaf people are not as clever as normal people45. On the whole the story is about______.A. how the deaf communicateB. leaning to spellC. teaching the deaf to speakD. writing sign language46. How did sign language help the deaf?A.It helped them to learn to read.B.It helped them communicate with other people.C.The deaf could understand Indian sign language.D.The deaf could move their thumbs across their lips47. Which of these sentences do you think is right?A.Deaf people draw signs.B.Deaf people read with their fingers.C.Many deaf people now can speak.D.Deaf people teach themselves a sign language.CIn Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits(限制)the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to go from one place to another. The price of the land, too, has skyrocketed. All these explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion(结论)that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen shopping centres.What are some of the advantages(优势)of shopping and eating underground? Clean air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat(威胁)of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience(便利)of getting around: you are usually rightnext to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kibosh station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.48. The reason why buildings can not be very high in Tokyo is ____.A. that the information about high buildings is limited in TokyoB. that the workers haven’t mastered enough modern science and technologyC. the earthquakeD. the heavy traffic49.

Well, museums can make history come alive. And one museum in particular can take you on an exciting journey from the beginning of human culture to the present day.It is the British Museum. Being one of the largest museums in the world, it is home to over 7 million objects from all the world’s continents. While most of us may not have the opportunity to visit London, we can catch a glimpse of the treasures it holds in Beijing. More than 100 cultural relics will be on display in the Palace Museum. Named “Britain and the World”, a range of pencil sketches (素描), watercolor paintings, sculptures and many other objects have traveled to China.There will be several Chinese objects on show. But “they were obtained by the British Museum before 1830 mainly by trade,” said Ma Jige, deputy director of the Exhibition Department of the Palace Museum.In fact, there are more than 23,000 Chinese relics in the British Museum, including nationaltreasures like gems (宝石), artwork and ancient bronze ware objects.The museum is famed for its exquisite Chinese paintings. Picture of Lady Officials (《女史箴图》) by Gu Kaizhi, a top painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-420), is there.

天水市一中高二级2019—2020学年度第一学期期末考试英语试题(满分:100分时间:100分钟)第I卷(选择题共55分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,共35分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)AFamily fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least tha t’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.1.From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A.people had better avoid family fights.B.family members fight to control each otherC.family fights can be changed into something positiveD.when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weaknes s2.In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A.satisfy the need to be listened to firstB.make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC.pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD.stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders3.When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.A.wait for a suitable moment to speak B.let the other person express their feelings C.work on a written agreement first D.move on to problem solvingBOn the day the tornado hit, there was no sign severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. My husband Jimmy and I were watching TV upstairs.No sooner had we got the coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get through to get to the relative safety of the first floor.As we struggled to reach the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.By the time I reached the closet, Jimmy pushed me down to th e closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.4.Which of the following sentences is NOT the evidence to show the tornado is violent?A.It was the loudest thing I have ever heard.B.The bones of the house shook, and the power went out.C.Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.D.Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.5.From the passage, we can infer that______.A.The couple had predicted the arrival of the tornado in advance.B.Jimmy flew right out the back of the house and into the bay during the tornado.C.The three-foot-tree flew over the couple’s head and injured them badly.D.The author still felt scared when the tornado was suddenly over.6.Why did the author feel “no pain” in paragraph4?A.She didn’t hurt badly enough to sense the pain.B.She was severely injured and failed to sense the pain.C.Her attention was fully focused on her husband.D.She had let her husband go away from her hand.7.Which of the following phrases best describes the couple’s experience in this tornado?A.A thrilling adventure B.A narrow escape C.A risky attempt D.A serious accidentCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.8.What does this passage mainly talk about?A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.B.Opinions about competition are different among people.C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.9.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who are against competition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success10.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.B.One's success in competition needs great efforts.C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.11.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.B.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D.Competition should be encouraged.DArtificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UK’s Medical Research Council, said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were published in the Journal of Radiology.According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.The software was given scans of 256 patients’ hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die.The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, “This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.”12.What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?A.Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.B.Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.C.Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills.D.Producing medicine without side effects for heart disease patients.13.What can we know about the software from the passage?A.It can make accurate long-term predictions.B.It has not yet been widely put into use.C.It can prevent high blood pressure in the lungs damaging part of the heart.D.It can help doctors make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment.14.The underlined word “deteriorates” in the last paragraph probably means “________.”A.continues B.worsens C.exists D.improves15.The author’s purpose of writi ng the text is most likely to _________.A.advertise B.persuade C.inform D.entertain第二节七选五(共5小题; 每小题1分,共5分)Questions to ask yourself before making a big decisionLife is packed with decisions, big and small. If you feel a big decision is appearing in your life, don’t hide! Ask yourself these questions to get clear on what’s the right choice for you.How committed am I to this change?Rate your level of commitment on a scale out of 10. 16 . Is your level of commitment higher than a 7? That’s grea t data for your decision!Is this decision in line with my long-term goal?17 Write down your goals. Then think about how this decision plays into that longer-term plan.18This is one of my favorite questions! If something is stirring(搅动) within you --- a creative idea, a calling to move somewhere new, a desire to end a relationship --- what are you giving up when you don’t do it? What might you be missing out on in your life if you do nothing?Is now the right time?Bear in mind: 19 But there are few real reasons we ever need to delay making a big one when it presents itself. Remember, life is always uncertain and time waits for no one.Making a big decision doesn’t have to be so difficult. There are no right or wrong answers, or right or wrong ways to live your life. 20 Your inner wisdom has the answers. So get busy asking the person who knows best --- you.A.What is the risk of not doing it?B.How long have I been thinking about his?C.Not all decisions need to be made immediately.D.Thin k about the amount of work, effort and time you’d have to put in.E.

Recently, with lots of time and lack of inspiration, I accepted a 21 to teach creative nonfiction. 22 I couldn’t get myself to write my own stories. I could require that my students tell theirs.“You’re going to be 23 a journal in this class.” I said. “And I want you to tell your stories like they matter.”“Why do they matter?” a boy named Michael asked. “I mean, who 24 about our stories?”No one said a wont. Perhaps they were just tired from their 25 lives. Many worked full-time while in school full-time. Most might not have the faintest 26 that their stories did matter. They didn’t even know that their stories were stories — as beautiful and hard — as their own lives.27 , I looked at Michael. “They matter because they do.” I said. “Because you’re here and you can tell them. Stories allow us to make 28 of what we’re29 . When you 30 your experience into a story, it becomes yours and not just something that 31 to you.”Michael didn’t look32 , but he didn’t challenge me either.Later, Michael wrote about how he grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Boston and how his high school teacher, who saw his 33 , helped him fill out a college application.I 34 Michael to read his essay out loud.

His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video - and Sam -became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have epected the response.“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s boo. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s eperience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.“I wrote the boo to teach people to be inder to people,” Sam says.Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sic children staying in hospitals around the country to mae their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.“A few ind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about ids in the hospital,” says Sam.Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organiation to provide a way for people to contribute money to realie Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit indness for ids.Since then, Sam has taen pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedE Ground. He ased the company for help.“FedE Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Trual, manager of public relations for FedE Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple “ids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sic,” he says.4. We can learn from the tet that Sam Allred _____.A. was a healthy boyB. was popular at an early ageC. sang the song with his sisterD. wored in his father’s company5. Opening Hearts is a boo that _____.A. is a best sellerB. is about Sam’s sisterC. was published when Sam was 13D. was written by Sam and his mother6. What is FedE Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?A. DoubtfulB. SurprisedC. ApprovingD. Uninterested7. Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?A. Optimistic and warm-heartedB. Honest and responsibleC. Unusual and confidentD. Friendly and braveCI start every summer with the best of intentions to attac one big boo from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of boos and settings have been purely accidental “Moby Dic” on a three-day cross-country train trip “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locs on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful I made it through one and a quarter volumes(册), then decided that I'd got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss. I'm not quite interested in Balac, say, or “Tristram Shandy”. There's always “War and Peace”, which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realie that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone's name and social ran. How appealing to simply fall bac on a favorite --- once more into “The waves” or “Justine”, which feels almost lie cheating too eciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.And Then there's Stendhal's “The Red and the Blac”, which happens to be the name of my favorite coctail(鸡尾酒) of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Bac Forty. It is easy to drin, and nocing bac three or four seems lie such a delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory “I tae whatever's fresh at the greenmaret and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the par, maing one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids...8. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has a cottage in New England.B. He shows talents for literature.C. He enjoys reading when traveling.D. He admires a lot of great writers.9. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Get confusedB. Be carried awayC. Be interrupted D Mae no progress10. Why does the author say reading his favorite boos feels lie cheating?A. He finishes them quicly.B. He should read something serious.C. He barely understands them.D. He has read them many times before.11. What can be a suitable title for the tet?A. The Boos of SummerB. My Summer HolidaysC. To Read or Not to ReadD. It’s Never Too Late to ReadDGoogle’s new camera, called Clips, is a small, sm art device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to tae photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, lie when a child does something cute that may happen too quicly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognie facial epressions, which involved “training it to now what happiness loos lie”. The Google team also trained it to recognie what not to shoot —lie when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dar purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by maing it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlie a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeee the technology down into a device this sie. Going forward, we’re liely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence paced into our apps and gadgets.12. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It is equipped with tough glass.B. It enables easy Internet access.C. It allows of hands-free photography.D. It can be worn on your clothing.13. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?A. briefB. touchingC. unforgettableD. embarrassing14. What maes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The popularity of the Internet.B. The advance in technology.C. The rise of the smartphone industry.D. The reduction in the price of lens.15. What is the best title for the tet?A. A New Digital Camera from Google.B. New Devices in the Age of Apps.C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.第二节阅读填空(每小题2分, 共10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

I would talk to myself, “when I grow up, when I can become rich, I’ll save kids all over the world.”At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”4.What did the author want to do at a young age?A.Watch TV. B.Grow up quickly.C.Become wealthy.

B.A life. C.A task. D.An organization.7.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?A.Do little things to help those around them.B.Work very hard to get a college education.C.Challenge their friends to offer help.D.Do charity work when you are rich.CIt has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famous internationally.However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Westernmedicine.“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competiti on, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.8.The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to________ .A.introduce the film to readersB.show TCM is increasingly popularC.arouse readers’ interest in Western medicineD.prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries9.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.TCM is not exact in curing diseasesB.10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC.86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMD.Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM10.According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should________.A.combine western medicine B.face no challenge at allC.give an exact description of its effects D.compete with western medicine 11.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.A report on TCM B.Opinions about TCMC.TCM & Western Medicine D.Traditional healing spreadsDGoldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter ...and it’s all because of technology.“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” said Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” Wi th millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions(分心)too: email, instant messaging and quick movies on websites.Some people are worried about the effect on young p eople. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” said Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense ofit. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”12.Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?A.To introduce background. B.To compare two species.C.To introduce a topic. D.To suggest a way out.13.What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker?A.Skipping around the internet. B.Time to digest information. C.Traditional methods of reading. D.Making decisions.14.What will help students overcome a short attention span?A.Composing music. B.Texting messagesC.Reading more books. D.Watching quick movies.15.What is Ray C ole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly?A.Cautious. B.Unfavorable. C.Skeptical. D.Supportive.第二部分:七选五 (共5小题; 每小题1分,共5分)The best way to set yourself up for success is to make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely.Make your goals specific.You need to give yourself a concrete goal so you know exactly what you’re working toward.16.Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal? What exact goal do you want to accomplish? Be very specific.When will you start and when will you reach your goal?Make your goals measurable.Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal done, it's time to look at how you will measure your progress.After all, if you don’t have any way to measure your goal, how will youknow when you’ve reached it? 17 Some examples of measurable goals might be pounds lost, a positive change in blood work numbers, or fitness minutes accumulated.Make your goals attainable.It’s good to think big.18 A goal that’s attai nable for you is one that you believe you can reach and have all the support, equipment, knowledge and resources needed to put your goals into action.Make your goals relevant.You need to make sure that you’re choosing a goal that fits you and your lifest yle.19 ick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you ll set yourself up for success.Make your goals timely.20 Otherwise, it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it.Every goal should have a date, which will help you stay on track.In addition, set up a few mini-deadlines to keep you on track to reaching your big-picture goal.A.Put a deadline on your goal.B.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.C.You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions.D.Therefore, you should know in advance how you will make this happen.E. However, it’s also important that you don’t set a goal that is too big to reach.F. Don’t choose a goal just because someone else thinks it’s something you “should” do.G.
